    摘要: Aspects described herein relate to a network for providing air-to-ground wireless communication in various cells. The network includes a first base station array, each base station of which includes a respective first antenna array defining a directional radiation pattern that is oriented in a first direction, wherein each base station of the first base station array is disposed spaced apart from another base station of the first base station array along the first direction by a first distance. The network also includes a similar second base station array where the second base station array extends substantially parallel to the first base station array and is spaced apart from the first base station array by a second distance to form continuous and at least partially overlapping cell coverage areas between respective base stations of the first and second base station arrays.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for optimizing coverage for a cell site are provided. Cell sites are typically configured with antennas that emit a standard petal lobe pattern for a sector. The needs of the sector are not taken into account since a standard pattern is emitted for all antennas. The antennas may be adjusted at times to increase signal strength to particular regions but the pattern then returns to the standard petal pattern. Customized patterns may be created in order to optimize coverage for a sector. Sector needs may be taken into consideration such as object interference, geographical information, population data, and the like, in order to crate the customized pattern for a sector. The antenna may then emit the customized pattern for a predetermined length of time as a static pattern for that cell site.

    摘要: Even when a same C-RNTI is allocated to multiple mobile stations in a phantom cell, a collision between the mobile stations UE to which the same C-RNTI is allocated is avoided. A radio base station PhNB#10 according to the present invention is configured to manage a cell #10 (phantom cell) which is formed by linking multiple small cells and includes an allocation unit 11 configured to allocate a same C-RNTIph to multiple mobile stations UE#1/UE#3 which are separated by at least a predetermined distance in the cell #10.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a wireless network, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for partitioning a coordination area in a wireless network, the method comprising: obtaining antenna directions of respective cells, base station locations of respective cells, and scope of a coordination area within the wireless network; determining an initial coordination area based on the scope of the coordination area and the base station locations in respective cells; partitioning the initial coordination area into an inner area and an outer area; partitioning the outer area into an inward area and an outward area based on the antenna directions of cells within the outer area and the base station locations of cells within the outer area; and combining the inner area and the inward area within the outer area into a new coordination area. The method is simple and easy. It may solve a problem of coordination area edge caused by partitioning a coordination area and meanwhile avoid the association between coordination areas, thereby reducing the complexity of scheduling.
